It's conceivable that an AI could become extremely competent at writing big chunks of code; although, for, say, safety-critical code, even this seems a bit implausible. But in that case the AI would still require a human being - a person with a clear idea of how the machine worked and what was possible - to indicate which possibilities were more desirable than others.
For example, should the code favour performance or energy efficiency? Is the risk to, say, data security, at point X worth it if it enables us to achieve Y? These are the sort of questions on which AI can advise us, but which it is fundamentally incapable of answering for us. | 68,071 | 7 |
